SILVA, Carla Regina Rodrigues da et al. Living with an ileostomy: a case study on the transition process. Rev. Enf. Ref. [online]. 2017, vol.serIV, n.14, pp.111-120. ISSN 0874-0283. https://doi.org/10.12707/RIV17015.
Background: An ileostomy affects the person's identity, leading to a process of transition. The person's response to transition, as the subject of nursing study, should be explored, as well as the context in which the transition is experienced. Objective: To describe and understand the transition phenomenon experienced by a person with an ileostomy and diagnosed with familial adenomatous polyposis, based on Afaf Meleis' Transition Model. Methodology: An instrumental case study was conducted using the qualitative research paradigm. The case was selected through a convenience sampling strategy and data were collected through observation, analysis of the electronic nursing records, and semi-structured interviews. Results: The person and the context involved in the transition process are two non-recurring realities that influence its course. Conclusion: Afaf Meleis' Transition Model allows understanding the transition process experienced by the ileostomy patient in terms of nature, conditions, and response patterns of transitions.
